[Banana]

God bless Jeannie's dad now that's a real man.This seriously hit me right in the feels.

[JaRosez]

Jeannies father is an amazing man. Made me cry I love it.

[MelissaLovely]

Wow one of the most powerful moments of the season thank you Jeannie for sharing your story with us.

[GabyChronicles]

Omg jeannie's story shredded my heart to pieces. I've never ever been touched by any story like this. Thank you so much Loni for turning that around and making it positive.

God damn Jeannie got me over here bawling my eyes out..

[BreaG]

The Moment She Said She Seen Him Going Through The Trash, I Was Gone. Crying So Hard...Such A Powerful Story.

[NikkiBOO]

Jeanie is really strong! You see her everyday all happy with the biggest smile on her face. Like Tamar she walks around like everything is fine when it's not always like that but she don't want to ruin someone else happiness. And that is something I can take from her. So thank you Jeanie for that.

[topnotchtn]

Wow, finally seeing Tamar and Jeannie connect is amazing.

As the child of African immigrants, I can totally 100% relate to Jeanie's story. And I can relate to that pressure, the pressure we feel to give back to our parents and take care of them as adults...if we fail, it's as if we're wasting all of the sacrifices they made to give us a better life.

OMG this is an amazing story. I teared up. This is what it means to be a parent.

[kennyhenry]

OMG this story just shredded my heart. Has anyone else seen that video of the Asian dad who keeps lying to his daughter about things until she starts to realize what's really happening? This story reminds me of that video and it tore my heart apart.

[hersheythao]

Damn, that was deep... definitely hit home. Thank you Jeannie for opening up and being real.

Jeannie's story is very near and dear to me. My dad was laid off multiple times before I was born, and I never knew until I interviewed him for a social studies project in 9th grade. When I was younger my dad would always cook soup and fry fish for us, and being as young as I was, I never understood why my parents always let my sisters and me eat the meat off the fish while they took the bones for themselves. My mom would say that she likes chewing on bones but as I grew older, I realized my parents always put their children's needs first, and they would never show how much they struggled in front of their children. My dad used to literally eat rice with fridge water, so my sisters and me could enjoy the soup. I felt like my parents never cared for me growing up, but I grew to realize that, that's all they ever did. I always try to encourage children to respect their parents, because I don't have that chance with my deceased dad anymore

[lianne]

This made me cry, you really think some people have it all and they don't :(

[sugarspiceunlimited]

this is why  love Jeannie (and people like her) who walk around always happy, getting on with life, rarely complain, just fun sunshiney people...then you hear their story and it shows you how strong they are. Personally, it means a lot that there are people in the world like her who spread joy despite their pain instead of negativity. I respect her so much.

[LeahTriniteeMJLuv]

Wow. There was always something about Jeannie that I liked. I always got the feeling under her "bubbly" personality was a strong, selfless woman with a huge heart. She is always thinking about her family and of others. That type of love for other people is few and far between. Thank you for being such a good example, Jeannie.

[DeathGodPain]

Dang, I came here expecting something to make me laugh, nope she made me cry and really start to think.

[bre_me]

The story about her dad saying he's not hungry and saying he ate so his kids could be full and then having to pick through trash, it just gives you chills

[mouna]

It's because of what Jeannie's father did for her, that made her who she is today. Jeannie's father made some huge sacrifices, and with every sacrifice joy comes afterwards. It's the struggles that makes the happy times worth it. My respect goes to Jeannie and her father and family.
